Wow. What a crazy device. I never thought I would own a MacBook because I love Windows, but man this thing is a beast. It has no issues running what I want to run. I even tested out a Windows 11 VM on it just for giggles. The MacBook handled it like a pro! Or should I say, like an air! I’m stupid… Anyway, I’m satisfied with this MacBook!

Fabulous upgrade
I had a 7 year old MacBook Pro and it was showing its age for sure. I purchase this MacBook Air in Starlight on sale and it is a fabulous upgrade from my older MacBook Pro. The keyboard looks the same but feels better and types quieter. This machine is so much faster and I am really enjoying it. It's super light and portable and meets all of my needs. I'm glad I made the investment. My old MacBook Pro would no longer backup wirelessly so I backed up to an external hard drive and used that to set up the new machine and it worked flawlessly. Very pleased with this purchase.

24gb Ram is important. 16gb is the bare Bottom!
The 24GB Mac Air will keep one happy for years. PLEASE get the 24GB Ram. !6GB ram is now the bottom . Reason is that the new and "will be" great AI software will need 16GB and the 8GB left over will be for your work and play. Yes, it is hard for students and "Peeps" have a very hard time affording an expensive powerful tool. Believe me, a year from now you will be very happy. Cheers!
